Microsofttrparky- thanks for reporting the problem. We are happy to help investigate this with you. Had a few questions:
How did you fix your problem:
1) How did you turn off Hardware acceleration? What setting did you change?
2) Did you enable edge://flags/#d3d11-video-decoder to fix the problem? And then did you still need to turn off hardware acceleration in #1?
A few questions/ requests for logs:
3) Is this on Edge Dev or Edge Canary?
4) Can you also repro this problem on the corresponding Chrome Dev or Chrome Canary?
5) Can you revert back to your original buggy state and share with us the following logs - Open YouTube in one tab -> as it starts playing -> Right click the video -> "Stats for nerds" and share that info with us. At the same time open another tab and type "edge://gpu" there and share that info with us.
Looking forward to getting the info from you and taking this investigation further.
GurpreetV I also have video stutters when playing 1080p 60fps h.264 videos in Edge Chromium in both fullscreen and out of fullscreen with either d3d9 or d3d11 video acceleration on but those same videos play smoothly in Edge HTML and Internet Explorer 11.
- I am using Edge Chromium Dev
- Chrome Dev had similar results in both D3D9 and D3D11 video acceleration
- There are more frame drops if I move the cursor, media player shows, or moving to fullscreen
- This does not happen when using either Edge HTML or Internet Explorer 11
